On Saturday, November 23, T.O.P Soccer had the opportunity to volunteer with BrittaNYCares (a charitable movement founded on the premise of caring through action).
Volunteers bundled up to brave the weather and made their way to the heart of 148th – 3rd avenue Grand Concourse. As the set-up began, inquisitive onlookers pleasantly asked, “what’s going on here today?” Upon hearing non-perishable food and toiletry items would be distributed, scores of people lined up and were grateful for the gesture of kindness.
The reality is this community is riddled with poverty, obesity, low education, poor housing and crime. How can these factors be addressed? How can community members be served? One step at a time, one act at a time and one volunteer at a time.
Kudos and thank you to BrittaNYCares for impacting underserved lives and allowing T.O.P Soccer to volunteer. We look forward and can’t wait to be a part of your next service event.
